Backstage Access with Elric Beakerman! Episode 1: BJSC 78

 

Heya guys! It's Elric here, and as you all know, I devised a plan to sneak into one of the biggest events in the Buzzjack world called the Buzzjack Song Contest, where I somehow got hired and got the chance to sneak in backstage to interview the biggest artists here! This episode, I chatted with Tyler Posey on co-hosting the 78th edition of the contest with past winner Aquafina.

It was a pretty stressful ordeal, trying to make everything perfect and all, but we had an amazing crew to highlight everyone, Ethan James helped out and he was amazing, and other than that one miscalculation in the semi scores, it was a pretty fun time. The crowd was pumped and we all had a good time. The contest committee in Cor Lupus was super supportive and I'm really looking forward to the next time we host.
At the end of the contest, our entrant Thomas Jack safely qualified in the final (giving us a fifth qualifier - how crazy is that?) and ended up coming 21st overall (which is kinda underwhelming), but the real story that propped up afterwards is a scandal about countries rigging votes! Aquafina was slated to have their third win in a row, but apparently they've been ousted ft rigging votes into their favor!

 

Long story short: this means our closest friends in Mulgracia have taken the crown this month! We are so proud of these guys who have really shot upward in quality this year, and we wish them luck for the next contest.

 

Next up: it's off to Danaelanda where we talk to American indie-pop duo The Pierces on their trek to success in this month's spin-off! Thanks so much again for all the support!

 

- Elric out!

Hmm.

 

Is it dance??

 

Beaverdonia delegates have arrived here to announce our participation first!!

 

We hope the people of Cor Lupus will enjoy the phat beats.

Always excited to hear your entries! Hope you don't disappoint!
Let's hope your new track struck a chord with me, it be the 4th track in a row :o I found some great discoveries from Cor Lupus. Thomas Jack was another great entry, I didn't think I liked it at the beginning, but its one of those tracks after a few listens, just grew on me.

Backstage Access Episode 2: Charlie, Charlie, Are You Here?

 

ProteMx2.jpg

 

Another trip to Canada brings us 15-year-old Charlie Storwick to represent Cor Lupus in the special Halloween edition of BJSC. Compared to the likes of Lana Del Rey and Lorde, this haunting track serves as the debut single and her first recorded single in three years for her. Will this Next Star veteran bring home another top 10 for the Lupines? Or is a sixth qualifier out of the question?

 

 

- Elric out!

Charlie's qualification has made it six in a row for us.

 

Thank you for making this Halloween season special. Now let's get to the top.

Backstage Access Episode 3: Who Run The World?

 

The success for Cor Lupus keeps on going as our two female acts performed well in the spin-off and the actual contest, respectively.

 

Let's start with The Pierces. We were over the moon with choosing the sister duo and Pretty Little Liars theme composers for our BJSC roster, and they ended up placing 6th with "You'll Be Mine". Not too shabby for a song that's five years old.

 

Just yesterday, it was announced that Charlie placed 14th in the 79th contest, just two points away from the unlucky (but sacred to this month) 13th (and we blame Jayrusalem for making us think Cor Lupus racism may actually be real). That wasn't the interesting news: she also happened to win the semi! By the skin of her teeth. For being the youngest competitor entered in the contest at fifteen years old, I think this was a pivotal move for both the contest itself and our contest history, as it could really inspire the other countries to try out younger performers. One other teen entry was entered: Pupok's Marina Kaye with "Dancing With The Devil".

 

So we finally have a moral victory to claim for ourselves. And Persephonia points.

 

Aaaaanyway, we have one more contest coming up this Halloween weekend, and it's a doozy:

Backstage Access Episode 4: Tickets, Please

 

Melanie_martinez_carousel_single_cover.png

 

American Horror Story has become a big inspiration for some more creepy tunes for the Halloween spin-off in Terra Avium. We are pleased to announce that we have recruited The Voice US alum Melanie Martinez for this affair, with her single "Carousel". Arguably the most well known of her singles, this song was featured in the main trailer for the fourth season of American Horror Story, with the appropriate subtitle "Freakshow". Come one, come all, and witness this songbird scour the depths of this horror-filled spin-off.

 

 

It's also revealed that she will be headlining the annual Monster Bash alongside former Lupine act A-Trak.

Backstage Access Episode 5: The Race Begins

 

http://i.imgur.com/m0m4kqO.jpg

 

Artist: Wave Racer

Track: "Flash Drive" (feat. B▲by)

 

I wanna show you, take you on a ride

Lost in the moment, if the feeling's right...

 

 

Just a few days ago, Melanie Martinez came 8th in the Halloween spin-off. With the main contest underway, we've completely switched gears to a fun bubblegum future bass track that we've been teasing as "not the usual Cor Lupus". Australian producer Wave Racer has been added to our roster this month, only recently releasing an EP full of jams. Seems like we've been inspired by Mario Kart a bit. :P Will we speed past our fellow competitors to victory, or will we get hit by a bunch of red shells early on?

Wave Racer has made it through, making it seven qualifications in a row... but that is just the first hurdle.

 

Time for us to be speeding the way to that first place!

Backstage Access Episode 6: Coming Up This Holiday Season...

 

Wave Racer ended up placing at 27th, and after a bunch of consistently high odds, it's kinda underwhelming. We do want to thank Ajanaeda for the 18 and St. Burbia and our good friends Mulgracia for the 15.

 

So clearly going the experimental route wasn't going to work out and we're reverting back to our more fun selves come January... or will it come sooner? Here's what's coming up this holiday season:

  1. There is a holiday contest special being held in Ultraviolenceland. Confirmations are beginning tomorrow, and let's just say that we've been a little naughty this year. Hopefully there's still a bit of points under our trees.
  2. The special New Beacon New Year: 2015 In Review is coming up soon! There can only be one true alpha this year - will it be you? Sometime in December, we'll get to see

From all of us here at Cor Lupus, happy holidays.

2015 proved to be a successful year for Cor Lupus. Seven contests, seven lucky qualifiers. Pretty lucky number. An expanded final helped the country reach out to others in the neighborhood to discover new music all around. Stakes were high, and in the end, success was massive.

 

Shortly after announcing confirmation for the Christmas spin-off, a local radio station tweeted out to their thousands of listeners to vote for their top 10 songs this BJSC year. After sending in their votes, fans were greeted by a single wolf emoji. 🐺

 

The votes were soon to be collated for the phenomenon known as New Beacon New Year: 2015 Year In Review.

 

Many songs were voted for, but there can only be one true alpha of the year. Will it be your song?

 

More coming soon...

New Beacon New Year: Year In Review - BJSC 74

 

 

I could touch the sky and catch a star for you...

 

BEGAN: April 2015

ENTRY: Brielle - "Catch A Star For You"

PLACING: 31st - 169 points

 

There is a saying that says, "to get to the top, you must first start from the bottom". This was the debut act, one to test the waters with. Were we going to move on to become among one of the most successful countries in the game, or will we end up getting lost in the shuffle? This performance suggested the latter. We were pretty lucky to have qualified with the extended qualifier spots, by then raising from 16 from the last month to the now used 20 qualifiers. Of course, after that the rest was history, but back then, we didn't know what appealed to the masses and after that what would happen to future entries. It was a bit of a humble beginning but at least we regained our footing.

 

The biggest highlight was seeing an act that had reached #4 in the local charts before: Midnight Red. It was both a joyous surprise and a bit of dread as we thought that a boy band was too big a risk to send on a debut. These guys ended up qualifying.

Most Undeserved DNQ: Feder f/Lyse - "Goodbye"

 

 

Having pointed this, it was a shock back then given that the semi-spoken word type of lyrics were incredibly infectious and it was everything the UK had asked for in a hit back then. I ended up charting it anyway, nearly five months after it suffered injustice. Now that it's Rejects season, I'm praying that normality will be restored.

Songs That Could Get Pointed Now:

 

Asta f/Allday - "Dynamite" (D'yermak'er)

 

 

Back then, I never really paid attention to the songs and pointed which ones were the most memorable and had the best impression on me. This somehow passed me by. Flash forward about five days after the final while Perseventyfive was still in production and I saw this charting in Australia and thought maybe it would be a nice BJSC entry. Then I found out it was sent to this contest. Bal, honey, I am so sorry.

 

4Minute - "Crazy" (N DNTN)

 

 

It didn't really capture me the way most K-pop songs would by first listen, and it sped by me during the final voting. Checking this out again, the girls really blew me away. I really hope there's more success for Asian pop in the future after seeing it crash and burn the past few months.

 

Spada f/Elen Levon - "Cool Enough" (Ramrynia)

 

 

This was also pretty unmemorable back in the day. Then, I decided to check it out on my train from my cousin's house in Geneva to where my family and I were going to stay in Paris, and it was both relaxing and life-redeeming. Honestly, Ryan, had you sent this in 76, I probably would have given you as many points as ASTR.

 

Andy Duguid f/Jaren - "7even" (FSR Rontvia)

 

 

This had oodles of hype among it and I just didn't know why and it escaped me when voting for the final. It succeeds at the rare feat of managing to be both generic and not generic at the same time.

 

-

 

Final thoughts: This contest did have some gems in it, but little did we know that the quality was going to increase as time went on.

Brielle *.* What an absolute tune!
You being my first 18 actually made me die of happiness inside, truly a highlight of the results.

 

I think Lindsey has you beat in number of 12's given to me though, she's given me two so far :kink:
